A/n this is based on part of "In birth and death." I was curious about those phone calls at the Hotchners and this is what I came up with.
Disclaimer: I don't own CM and I'm glad about that... to much stress!
Haley
"I told you not to call me at the house!"
"I had to talk to you. You've been unreachable for two weeks. I missed you!"
"I was with my husband. I never wanted to hurt you, but I had to try one last time to get through to him for the sake of our son."
"You still love him…don't you?"
"Of course I do, how can you ask that? He's the father of my son. We were high school sweethearts. He's been the biggest part of my life for as long as I can remember.
"Then why did you come to me?"
"I needed someone that would put me first. Aaron quit thinking of me a long time ago."
"I love you Haley. I want us to be together. Can't you understand that?"
"I know you do, but can't you understand how hard this is for me?"
"I understand that you still haven't decided what you want. When you do, call me. Don't take too long, I won't wait forever."
The phone went dead in her hands and she dropped it on the bed. Andrew was right. What was she doing here? All she ever did these days was try to hang onto a marriage that was over. Aaron didn't care about her or Jack. If he did he'd be here with her. He would accept another assignment and they could be happy again.
She stood and went to the dresser standing at the opposite wall from the bed. There was a wedding picture of her and Aaron. They'd been so happy that day. She believed that nothing would ever come between them. Another woman she could handle, but his obsession with saving the world was impossible to fight. Any way she argued her case; she came out looking like a harpy. She should be glad that he wanted to make the world a better place, but did it have to come at the expense of her child.
She picked up the photo and caressed the surface of the glass with a finger. She'd been young then and as idealistic as her husband. She was older now and tired of trying to be understanding and supportive. The last straw had been when Jack was sick last year. Aaron's job had been more important then their son. She knew it was over then, but still she tried.
She went back to the bed and picked up the phone. After calling her sister, she packed some of her clothes, and then she went to Jack's room and collected some of his toys and clothes. Her sister would take them in until she could figure out what to do.
The next call she made was to Andrew. "I'm leaving him," She told him without preamble. There was a long silence before her responded.
"He doesn't deserve you."
"Please don't make this harder than it is."
"I'm sorry… but I love you and I don't want you to be hurting."
She didn't answer him and he didn't push. They made arrangements to meet the next day. She took one long last look around the house and then she was gone, locking the door behind her.
